I had the same problem last year. It turned out to be the combination switch that controls the lights, wipers and turn signals. I got mine on Ebay and it was easy to install.

Yep, common problem. Often just dirty or pitted contacts in the dimmer switch:

when you pull back and use the flasher do they turn on?

EDIT: 4crawler beat me to it. I was gonna put that link up. I just fixed mine today using that page. A little different on my first gen but you wont have that problem.

I remember there being fuses for your high beams in the fuse box in your engine bay. Might want to check them.
